Dekker also attended LeBron James' Skills Academy last Summer... one of the highlights was this:

Asked if James had any advice, Dekker said: “He was just saying. ‘Keep working. Stay hungry and stay humble.'"

#Hungry

#Humble


Wise words.
 
Rodney Hood with another strong game: 17pts, 5reb, 2assists, 1 steal.


Can Hood be a starter in this league next to Gordon Hayward? If he can... I think we take Kaminsky without blinking an eyelid at #11 which is where we're picking. He's the perfect fit as the 3rd/4th big off the bench. Someone with NBA length, can score inside and outside effectively, likes to pass, can play both C/PF if need be. A total team player too.

WCS will be a huge bust. Dude has no offensive game.

Neither do Tyson Chandler, DeAndre Jordan, Andre Drummond and Rudy Gobert. So?

Hood can be a starter eventually. I won't say that about a rookie, even if he's a senior. But if you want to win a championship you need another wing defender to hide him on the weaker assignment, that's more help defense dependent. The Jazz don't have an elite defensive player on the wing.

Hayward is a pretty good defender, and he is improving. Remember that game he had defensively against Carmelo?


Plus we do have Favors/Gobert, our defensive system seems to be funnelling everyone through to them anyway.


I think team defense is more important than any 1 person.

It is. But as soon as you don't have the guy who can stay in front, it opens up the court for the opponent and Gobert/Fav can only deter so many shots near the rim.

Well as I'd said, we have an improving Hayward.


I'd rather have a SOLID backup big. Imagine if Favors or Gobert is injured - who have we got that can back them up? Kaminsky can be that guy for the next 7+ years.

Aren't the Jazz bringing over two more 7'2 guys from Barcelona? If we draft a big, the guy I want to have is Porzingis. My secret irrational non performance based man crush this year.
I really hope the Jazz start benching everybody but Exum and Gobert to bottom out the last games. There is literally no reason not to try to drop to #9 pre lottery.

Kaminsky's more skilled offensively than those 2, he can handle the ball, can drive it. He can also shoot the 3 which those 2 can't. He's also younger. Just a much better potential overall in the long term.
 
No way Kaminsky falls to us at #11, especially with how much teams want/need a true stretch 4 nowadays.
